Whirlpool had it right with the first gen agitator carbrio and oasis .. i think that was the first agipeller but it was more of an agitator ... and i agree WP need to just go direct drive with all washers and just sell it like this
Low teer = basic SS Basket, Agitator, Fixed cycles, 4 water level options plus auto, capped speed speed 75p rpm, no dispensers, WP classic design+ language.
Mid teer = advanced SS Basket, touch controls optional, Agitator or Wash-plate,2 to 4 agitation profiles, recirculation jet, flexible cycles, auto water level with add more option, 800 to 1000 rpm spin, draw like /automated dispenser for detergent additives, delay wash, eco monitor, precise temp control etc, WP modern design language.
High teer = advances SS Basket plus, Touch controls with large colour touchscreens, Bluetooth & Wi-Fi, Wash-plate only, cycle customizations unlimited, auto water level with add more option + deep water, 1000+ rpm spins, Advanced dispensers with storage, quieter wash, smartphone integration, recirculation jets with catalyst like action, dynamic agitation profiles. basically the works with WP sleek futuristic design language
basically they build on each other and limit the models ...
low end 2 - agi
mid level 6 - 3 agi 3 impeller
high end 6 - impeller with various features going up
don't get me started on WP basic dryer design i would like accudry to be standard or used more. also why are the sensor tines in the back of the drum on WP classic dryers so damn small like WP come on see the image to see what i'm talking about.
also WP a high-air-flow fan (larger more efficient blade design) + lower temperatures will equal better drying
those small changes and WP will be golden enough ranting WP send the new washers to Trinidad quick mom needs a new one ... and i ain't buying her no agipeller crap
